What kind of building structure is that, a old loading dock or something?

Very nice shots!!!

How many cameras were harmed in the shooting of #6??? I'd really like to know how that & #7 were done... with no camera shake and an obvious long exposure, I can't see how it could be done from a moving vehicle.

CSAMF: OctaneGuy already answered part of your question. As for the rest, it's not a loading dock. Those aren't roll-up doors, it's just the way the concrete was shaped.

asaulo1 & Minvader: 6 & 7 are done with two specialized camera rigs that hold the camera stable while the car moves. The blur is captured on camera. Beyond that, I won't be commenting further on the rigs or the process.

Michael: Yes, the conditions were pretty optimal. I'm still trying to figure out a way to work with it to get a Winter Motoring shot. Any chance the weather will cooperate so we'll see some more of your work soon?

Great shots!

I love when the tire treads get that coating of dust/dirt. It really highlights the aggressiveness of the tread.

Yea, Steady-Cam (R) wouldn't like that.
Number 7 takes advantage of the stong horizontal element exaggerated by the cantilevered roof very well. It's my favorite (for what it's worth).

NICE WORK!

Sure, I'd like to see your rig, but I respect your right to keep your cards close to your vest—besides, all of the info is out there if you're motivated!

dickdavid: I like the dirty tire tread too.

I'm a bit surprised #7 has such a strong reaction. Shows what I know. #5 is actually my own favorite out of the set. The interior shot is also up there, since it took a lot of effort to photograph.

I love #6 shutter is fast enough that the reflection off of the paint is still crisp, yet it is still slow enough that the wheels blur, and there is no sign of the vertical dividers, very nice work. Also awsome job with camera placement on #7, no sign of the driver. Was #8 natural light or did you use an artifical source. Not that I'm trying to crack your tecniques . Good work.

The interior shot was done with ambient light. I wish I had the studio setup to do that with strobes, but no such luck.... yet.

that explains the difficulty in setup, I must say looks like it really paid off.

The piano black dash with the chrome trim is downright stunning If I had known, I would've waited a few months and ordered a 2006

I don;t want you to give away State secrets, but it looks like number 7 must be from 10 feet away. That is one kick butt rig you made there!

Great pictures.
